                Folk tales are part of oral tradition. These folk tales are passed down from generation to generation. They contain the realities of life in such a way that we consider it necessary to recognize them for the next generation. These folk tales are so full of content that we even protect them and passed on to the next generation by mixing up our own life stories and dressing them in new words. In this way, they are always faithful to the traditions of the past and they also have the skill to live in the present. In this analytical study, we have first searched for and separated the mention of flora in the folk tales. Tried to find out what the concept of flora is here by studying very deeply. In what sense flora is used and what is the importance of flora in these folk tales.

But in this study, many aspects of the flora are also common to ancient and modern times and some new concept which are present in modern thought but not in folk tales. This analytical and comparative study will make it easier to understand the old and new ideas of thought and concept.
